It just amuses me no end that the mighty "coach" wets his pants over a heavily used asset but would defend to the death the little used baseball fields. The kids seem to much prefer the skateboard park.

Sell the land and use the money for something useful."<BR/><BR/>Sell the land? Is it private? Do the owners know? Or is it public trust land? Thatʻs right, NB, why not take the last outlets left for kids so the idiots in this state can put up some more timeshares and complain about the county taxes.<BR/><BR/>Nonyer Biz seems to have ALL the answers, Andy, and directs things personally at people who are not responsible. <BR/><BR/>Since NB is so knowledgeable about ALL things maybe he should just get a website or run for office...or oops maybe he is already in office. The half cocked analysis is an indicator.<BR/><BR/>As far as the bleating bike path, thatʻs exactly what it is. A stupid, unplanned waste of everything. Designed for people who need a concrete slab to guide them on their journeys to nowhere.awolgovhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11839526260230337689noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3441020117205433950.post-60139828939006164312009-02-18T14:48:00.000-10:002009-02-18T14:48:00.000-10:00Freakin Idiot? probably not. Half assed in your ...Freakin Idiot? probably not. Half assed in your analysis -- most of the time.<BR/><BR/>The gross errors<BR/><BR/>Aliomanu Road doesn't go to Anini -- the 2 are separated by easily 8-10 miles. If you actually go look, there isn't an obvious inland route.<BR/><BR/>"read federal transportation money that put us at the bottom of the list for future highway funding at the time and so delaying a fix for Kapa`a traffic gridlock),"<BR/><BR/>blatant falsehood. Transportation funds for pedestrian/bike/recreational projects are from separate funds that could not be diverted. Which you well know. Reminds me of Bushian scare tactics. <BR/><BR/>Wachovia's sale was engineered by the Fed and FDIC to protect the depositor's funds. The sale pre-dated TARP. Wells didn't just get a wild hair to buy a busted bank. Your understanding of econs is no better than your geography.<BR/><BR/>The silly:<BR/><BR/>The bike path you and Mickens bleat on and on and on about is very popular and widely used. If you want to save parks money, stop maintaining dozens of ball fields that get used no more than 30 days a year for a few hours. Sell the land and use the money for something useful. <BR/><BR/>"n either the recent or an upcoming bond float or in recent or this year’s capital improvement budgets."<BR/><BR/>wonder how well those bonds would sell with tax revs cratering? Accelerating the projects doesn't mean later funds can't be used for other worthwhile projects. Give 'em the old razzle dazzle Andy. Works like a charm.Blahblahblahhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14555036430493979079noreply@blogger.com
